Amazing product at an amazing price!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Affinity Publisher from other similar products?
Great price. Does 90% of what Adobe InDesign does, but without the subscription price. You just pay one price, and you get access to the app on Mac, Windows, and iPadOS. The product gets free updates for several years.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love how snappy and fast it is. I also love how well-thought-out the interface is.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The new V2 is a little buggy and in some uses cases can be impossible to work with. They have said they are fixing the bugs and will be releasing a new version soon, but it has been a long wait. On the plus side, you can still use V1, so it's no big deal.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try the trial period. That way you can see if it works for you. Also, it is not a 1:1 replacement for adobe. It has it's own way of doing things. Take the time to learn these methods. It can be difficult at first, but you'll so seen it provides a much more efficient way of working.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
